This program originally started as a three-month test in more than 50 locations in the Northeast regions of the U.S., but due to its overwhelming success and interest from parents and organizations serving the autism community, Chuck E. Cheese’s® has extended this program nationally.

The official launch of the program will be Sunday, April 2, on World Autism Awareness Day and will take place on the first Sunday of every month going forward.

The program details include opening two-hours before the general public to allow families in the autism community to enjoy smaller crowds, dimmed lighting, the show and music turned down or off, and limited appearances of costumed characters. These changes make for an environment more suitable for those facing sensory challenges.

Here is the list of participating locations in Indiana and surrounding states:
